Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brock Resnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy DeSouza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). DeSouza has chosen Randy Manny & The Tools as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Randy DeSouza was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
